Re: ajax question

hrm, I get the registering users, xml totally lost me. I'll have to find a way 
of keeping it compact.
Possibly just see when the user last updated and then do somehting with that.

  Good evening,


  How you will address these two issues will depend on how the backend of your 
system is designed.


  I would suggest that when the Ajax function requests the new chat messages 
that they be received in XML format and be added to a list. You can specify 
that only recent messages are sent to the browser through ajax and you can then 
remove older messages from the list in the browser.


  As for channeling messages to the correct room / private recipient you will 
need to have some functionality designed in the back end to register users 
against channels or other users and when new messages are requested a check is 
performed to determine which messages to return to the browser.


  HTH,
  Everett

    Hello list,
    I've got a quick question.
    I have the basic framework for a chat system in ajax, but I have two 
questions regarding it.
    First, I need a way to establish a session between one user and another, or 
multiple users so that everyone doesn't see everyone else's chat messages.
    Also, I need a way to know what each person hasn't received, or just update 
the page with the whole log rather than having repetitions.
    Ideas would be great.
